There is no front TRD sway. You only need to get a stiffer front bar if you run a much stiffer rear bar. That is why the hotchkis comes in a set. If you got a front hotchkis, for example, and ran it with the trd rear, you would end up pushing (understeering) more than you want, which is one reason you want the trd rear to begin with, to decrease understeer.

If you get a super stiff rear, like the hotchkis, it can make the car oversteer too easily, which is why it comes with a stiffer front bar.

oh so THAT's why there's no front TRD sway on trdsparks... I was looking through threads that came up in a 'sway bar' search and it seems like the front sway is harder to install because you have to lower the engine or something.. I think i'll stick to TRD when I get the sway bar! thanks for the info engifineer!

yea the trd is def. the way to go. combine that with lowering springs and you got a great upgrade. and if you got the money to get the shocks/struts..do that at the same time you do your springs. itll save you so much trouble in the long run. not to mention making your ride EVEN BETTER
